The LJ cut text reminds me of Calculus TO THE EXTREME!
Links to three applications you’ve voted for Un. Deux. Trois.
Basics
¤ 1) Name Call me Tae
¤ 2) Age 17 going on 18.
¤ 3) Country In the U, S, and A.
Personality
¤ 4) From a first impression, what kind of person do you appear to be? The quiet nerd who sits in the back of the class and no one even knows exists. Although this is changing to a more the quiet cynical nerd in the back of the class who's friends are really loud and spew information about her around the school. Apparently now I have a reputation of sleeping in class, and doing well on tests.
¤ 5) How does that differ from the person you are? Eh. Not particularly. Especially on the sleeping in class part. Only I'm not all that quiet around my friends/people that I don't want to...for lack of a better word, kill. I am actually quite cynical, misanthropic, antisocial, etc. Though quote from one of my friends, "We are nice to those who are nice to us, and mean to those who we hate." So I have a nice side too...just not all that big...or present.
¤ 6) What kind of person do you want to become, then? Meh, I'm satisfied with my not so social, not so loving self. I would like to get more confidence though.
On a side note, it would be nice to have people listen to what I have to say instead of ignoring suggestions, etc., etc. Another thing that would be nice is if they'd stop shoving work on me. Though this year, I don't really care, since I can bomb it and they don't have that option. :D
¤ 7) What, or who, is your inspiration in life? Nikola Tesla. Because even though he's virtually unknown (except to geeky nerds like my group of friends), he was one of the most important scientists in his time. He worked hard, going days with practically no sleep, food, and other essential necessities, and created so many different things that everyone uses today. He was still neglected and such during his time (thank you Edison), but he didn't let that stop him, and worked through a bunch of hardships and down points, and never quite got the fame that he should have.
And then in the end he kind of went crazy.
But that's beside the point. The point is that he never gave up on his dream despite his weak health, enemies, and other miscellaneous events he had to suffer through.
¤ 8) What are your major strong points? Logical/Analytical. I'd say that's my strongest point. I refuse to let messy subjective emotions control my actions (apparently, this is bad?), and do tend to take a very logical, weighed out approach to most decisions/events in my life.
SCIENCE MATH ORIENTED! Which goes with the above point, but honestly I think it's way better than liberal art-oriented.
I also refuse to give up on something if I totally decide to do it, though this leads to a sort of obsessive, perfectionistic sort of state.
And apparently I'm very loyal?
Oh, and I'm a good liar when I want to be. I think that's a good thing.
¤ 9) What are your major weak points? That perfection thing can go both ways, since I tend to have these grand visions that don't work out, or take way too long to create.
And that logical thing, because I don't let my emotions control my actions, people think I'm cold or harsh or mean. Yeah, no sugar coating available here. My view is that there's no point in it, so blunt messages FTW.
I'm too quiet for my own good, though that's more or less because I'm apathetic towards the majority of things that go on around me.
Also, I come off as really arrogant, though this is because I view myself as average, so anyone who doesn't come to my standards is automatically below average.
¤ 10) What makes you (^__^) =D? SCIENCE/MATH JOKES! YES! I am easily amused.
New books, book stores, video games, cartoons, people getting what they finally deserve, authority figures shutting talkative people up.
And finally, ANGST! I love to see my favorite characters getting completely shattered and broken. It's really adorable.
¤ 11) What makes you (¤>__<) >:(? Loud sounds (sensitive ears), strong smells (sensitive nose), too many people (slightly claustrophobic), too many people talking, shrill sounds, bright colors, faulty logic, more faulty logic, faulty logic being accepted, people who won't listen.
You know, people in general just make me mad. Unless they're awesome people. In that case they don't make me mad.
¤ 12) What makes you (;__;) ;(? Fail!Logic, stupid people being praised as smart (most annoying thing ever), uhhhh...general "I weep for humanity sort of things".
But really, I haven't cried/bawed in like...forever...
¤ 13) What is your general mood? Apathetically pissed off.
Thoughts
¤ 14) Do you think taking a humans life can be justified? Most definitely. Anything can be justified if you skew it a certain way. Morality is just a point of view, and cannot really take control of everyone's justification limitations.
So in short, yes. It can be justified.
¤ 15) What do you think of Love? Ew. Pointless, confusing, hormonal influxes. Also, distracting and wasteful. Never felt it, and I doubt I ever will.
So in short, just no.
¤ 16) How do you view your life? Short, and most likely completely pointless. It'll have a purpose if and only if I accomplish something that will leave a legacy.
In other words, no desk job. If I can do something that I can be remembered by, my life will have a purpose. If not, that sucks for me, but my entire life would have had no purpose.
¤ 17) Do you “live” in the past, present or future? Past/Future. I have a tendency to latch on to my mistakes, because I view them as mostly my own mistake and not the fault of other people. I'm working on this though.
And Future, because I'm always thinking about and working for the future.
So, not so much the present.
Situations
¤ 18) Could you risk your life on a 15% chance of dying under unknown conditions if you would get really rich if you succeed? Yes. If I die, that's just too bad. If I win, I won't have to worry about selling myself/work for money to survive. Plus, 85% chance of survival is very nice. It's more than the lottery at least.
¤ 19) There’s war. Some people fight for their lives, some try to flee the field, some protect their family, some hide, some nurse the sick, some organize people, some steal, some try to stop the fights… Where are you? Eh, Organization or stealing.
I tend not to like the entire leadership position sort of thing, but if I have to, I can do it very well/efficiently. Plus there's just something unique about pitting your intelligence against another's that can't be emulated. It's thrilling.
Stealing because it's not as if the other people are going to need the materials I, uh, "find".
¤ 20) If you had Mukuro's power to possess people, how would you use it? ...well then, forget the answer to 18. I'll use his power to get the money. :D
And then maybe make some people do really embarrassing things. For my own amusement.
¤ 21) A smiling, white-haired man comes to your house, eats all of your marshmallows, and says he needs your powers in the Mafia to overthrow other Mafias. (You’re getting nicely paid and free ice-cream for a year!) First, I'd laugh, since all my marshmallows are expired. Then, I'd ask to see proof that he's actually in the Mafia. Then, I'd weigh the risk of the monetary gain vs. the risk. And of course, see what the work involves. If it's physical, no. Mental, maaaaaybe.
Mmmmm...ice cream.
¤ 22) You find a wallet on the street. It contains a lot of money, a drivers license, and two condoms. Drop the wallet, wipe my hands because of those condoms, then use sticks to remove them from the wallet.
After that, I'd pocket the wallet, but I'd probably leave it in a desk somewhere and forget about it.
¤ 23) Your house is burning. A lot. You have no idea where the other occupants of the house are. If I'm outside, I'd use my cell phone to call the fire department, and turn the hoses on full blast.
If I'm inside, I'd probably...I dunno, get out? I think my family would know about the fire if they hear me yelling.
Random
¤ 24) How do you eat your hotdogs? Durrr....ketchup. But that hot dog needs to be scalding hot. I can't stand luke-warm food.
¤ 25) What’s your theme song? Oh geez. I don't know. I want to say The Scientist I guess? Only it's about love. Not science.
But there's this part that's about how it's not easy, and how the person's trying to find the secrets of science and solve the puzzles. Or something like that. :D
¤ 26) Tell us a character from another fandom that you identify yourself with? Well, I've gotten stamped as Orochimaru from Naruto, with a close Kabuto. I don't really identify myself with any characters...although I really like Victor Frankenstein. Does that count as a fandom?
¤ 27) Give us a picture of, or describe your room Hahaha, my room...
Ok, well, it's practically self sustaining. I've got a computer, TV, radio, printer, and a secret stash of food in here. I have posters and bad art on the walls, and two turtle shells hanging next to the curtains (/random). Uhhhhh....there's a lot of books scattered everywhere, mostly nonfiction, and many many pens. I don't know why I have so many pens.
Yup. that's it.
